Looks good to me.

And since I curse at people who ignore regression reports because "it
fixes a bug", I should take the time to say how much I liked seeing
you explain to the people who reported this regression why it happened
and what the thinking was. Now *that* is how things should work. "My
bad, this was the background for why it seemed like a good idea".

And I guess the second patch should also be marked for stable, since
the thing that causes problems got backported too.
